Population changes Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the U.S. — more than 22 million individuals can trace their ancestry back to 20+ countries across the Asian continent (Budiman and Ruiz 2021). While a great deal of that growth is owed to the momentum of the Civil Rights Movement and immigration post-1960s, when the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was passed, Asian communities have a long (and often overlooked) history within the United States. Though nearly half of all Asians in the country live on the West Coast, the second biggest proportion lives in the American South (Budiman and Ruiz 2021). North Carolina’s Office of State Budget and Management estimates that five of eight people added to the population by 2030 will be a person of color. In a state where children of color made up almost half of the population under 18 by 2019, it’s undeniable that the South, like the rest of the country, is changing (NCOSBM 2021). https://www.claimingcarolina.com/about daily 0.75 2022-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618360b4d4ff3038bd718a61/1637332221796-DWHTVCE183H6GS0SPON6/headshot+for+BE.jpg About https://www.claimingcarolina.com/home daily 1.0 2022-04-27 https://www.claimingcarolina.com/references daily 0.75 2022-04-27
